"It looks like Mother Nature threw us our first snowball," said Rochelle Jenkins of Caltrans, which was enforcing chain controls above 4,300 feet on I-80, the state's main highway through the Sierra Nevada.
"It's still coming down really good," Rochelle Jenkins, a spokesman for Caltrans, said Thursday as crews worked around the clock to keep open Interstate 80, the main highway between Northern California and Nevada. "The valley is clear, but up here it's anything but."
The two major throughways running through the mountains collectively cover about 132 miles of snow territory and they never close for snowfall, said Rochelle Jenkins, a spokeswoman for the California Department of Transportation.
